Iโ€™ve had a good chuckle many times about people buying Japanese cars and dismissing Korean manufacturers as rubbish.

Guess who made the Mitsubishi Lancer engines for over 20 years? Hyundai. Which always seemed odd because Mitsubishi is no slouch when it comes to heavy manufacturing.

Suzuki SV650 motorcycle engines, which has a cult following? Also Korean manufacturing.
